Earlham is ranked among the nation’s top 10 liberal arts colleges for undergraduate teaching. Here, we discover knowledge together. Our culture of mutual inquiry and discovery produces independent thinkers who confidently imagine and shape their own success.

Working for a just and equitable society is rooted in our Quaker history. Today, our philosophically diverse community advocates enduring ethical principles. Earlham students know that building resilient communities demands putting yourself out there, fostering mutual respect and striving for sustainable solutions.

A global mindset is best shaped through community-building. Domestic students are joined by peers from nearly 80 countries here on campus. Our students gain an enriched intellectual framework and the inspiration to explore the world through a rich array of study abroad and international opportunities.

Here, every voice is valued. Our collaborative leadership model is geared to a world where real progress is best achieved when people from varied backgrounds ‘row together.’ We recognize that astuteness, transparency, and the ability to build consensus are essential qualities for success in the 21st century.

Earlham College, an independent, residential college, aspires to provide the highest-quality undergraduate education in the liberal arts, including the sciences, shaped by the distinctive perspectives of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers).
